Since founding Structural Affiliates International, Inc. (SAI) in 1986, Dr. Ioannides has planned and designed various types of structures including health care facilities, industrial facilities, commercial office buildings, hotels, parking garages, and high-rise structures. He holds licenses in 35 states, and he has designed buildings with a total construction value of over 3 billion dollars.
He has educated and managed personnel in Malaysia and Panama to design and implement structural steel into high-rise construction projects. He has also designed Torre Planetarium - 90 and 80 story towers in Panama City when completed. Currently, his design of the first major "steel high" rise project in Cyprus is under construction.
He has served on a variety of national and international committees and forums, and he has published dozens of papers on highly analytical, as well as practical, aspects of structural engineering.
Several of his designs have been recognized nationally and internationally. The first all-Malaysian steel high rise in Kuala Lumpur, MY, has received the “Outstanding Engineering Achievement” award from the Institute of Engineers of Malaysia (IEM).
In earlier times when computers were neither available nor essential, one objective of the structural design process was to discover a computational method, which was elegant, simple and [...]
